To celebrate the opening of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery at Laverstoke Mill in 2014, Sam Carter has created this future classic in the making: Bombay Sapphire with Martini Bianco, Bottlegreen elderflower cordial, lime wedges then topped it off with Fever-Tree ginger ale.

Method

1. Squeeze 2 freshly cut lime wedges into a clean glass and then drop them in.
2. Measure and pour in the Bottlegreen elderflower cordial, Martini Bianco and Bombay Sapphire gin into the glass over the lime. Swirl well to mix.
3. Fill the glass completely full of good quality cubed ice and briefly stir with a bar spoon to chill.
4. Finally, pour 75-100ml of Fever-Tree ginger ale down a twisted bar spoon (into the spoon end) over the ice and gently stir the cocktail at the same time and fold to combine the liquids.
5. Garnish with a sliver of freshly mandolined ginger and a large gently slapped mint sprig all grouped together on one side of the glass. Enjoy the aroma, you don’t need any straws.
